Research Summary |
Constructions and identifications play crucial parts in understanding conflicts, their causes, unfolding and possible outcomes for the parties to the conflicts. Each party to a conflict has specific constructions of itself, of the antagonists, of the allies, of the context and the neutral players, of the relationship between the parties, of the usual ways conflicts in the locality (country etc.) unfold, of the possible outcomes (success, compromise or failure, economic, political, moral etc.) the conflict may bring. The project studies the ways conflicts between generations are perceived and constructed in Hungarian politics. |
